I would not be surprised to hear, of real blizzard like conditions in places, as blowing snow with quite a strong east wind picks up as the snow showers streamers pass through activitie starting to pick up again in the Irish sea

Still just tiny little ice balls here in Dublin cc. Off college today so going to get a bit more sleep and get up for the big whack of snow that's on its way

Yep that's the bigger issue because it's due to snow on and off all day and accumulate (I think).
Anyone in work might get stuck there.

Buses to be pulled off road after lunch on certain routes according to a chum who works for Dublin bus

No buses are even serving Lucan this morning. They're all bypassing it.

Decent enough dusting here in Dublin 2. Was sorely disappointed this morning to wake up and see far less than expected, but I'm coming to terms with it!

Sorely disappointed with this in ireland! We have such crazy expectations since 2010 hehe
( I was secretly disappointed hearing what kildare and dublin west got though, got same as you in D14:P) But still very pleased by how beautiful it is though

What else can we leave them. I can see little ones looking for food. Worried for them.

Breadcrumbs. Break up some weetabix for example . They would def eat the oats . Some water if you can . Some birds love apples too , cut one in half .

Coming down heavy again in Cork City.

Heavy in Cork now

Please remember the poor starving birds today! It is the end of a long winter for them and there is nothing left to eat.

If you can clear away a patch of snow or put some boards down and spread seed/etc on top of that, the ground feeders will love you. Also you have any way of putting out some water for them - they still need water to survive but it's hard when the usual sources are frozen over.

I spent 3 years living in Austria and to be honest I cannot beleive the amount of snow here in Kinsale. Amazed there is no red warning for south coast. Constant snow here now.

See if they know this now, they should tell people so they can start leaving now or those on way turn back.

Sunshine breaking out now, snow flurrying about really lightly. Amazing scene, looks like something you'd see on nature documentaries.

Crows are so clever though. Watched a lad eating/drinking snow. Cleverest of the birds, those lads

Where in ireland has the highest accumulation right now? Parts of kildare?
Im also surprised by how widespread it is, cork seems to be stealing the show

sicknotexi

Hi all!
Got 4 inches in Monasterevin last night. Wasn't expecting that but hopefully more to come.
